    Great place and a very inspiring artist, perhaps a past pupil of Miss Jean Brodie (?).
    All of this combined with slightly eccentric editing, silent gaps, and music, but oddly this combination seems reasonably coherent, and gives great insight into a graceful artists, heart and home.
    Thank you.

    I agree with 'start where you are' for a studio. I actually have a lovely room now for creating/working/praying but I often use my portable art station-aka a large tray with sides that has my paints in jars, brushes in another, a few watercolor and sketch books plus a little portable water container with lid and a few pieces of paper towel. I can literally sit in my bed and paint! And somehow it feels less intimidating than sitting at a desk in a formal studio.

      That sounds perfect Maria. X

    Hi! I just made a video of the church settlers from Isle of Skye in 1823 at Pea River Presbyterian Church. The videos are on TH-cam for the 200th Anniversary. I loved this video . I have been painting and making decoupages since 2019. I am a writer. Art has always made me happier. I may not offer many long comments like this. I will do my best to help you grow!

    I’ve just started painting after a 29 year break. After having cancer and a break up I now feel ready to go for it. The fear of it seems to have melted away. I worry sometimes I’m too old now (47) Si this was just what I needed to hear 😊

      You go for it! I am 67 and used to paint before I married and a short while into my marriage then quit. I did do decorative painting here and there. I am thinking I’d like to start up with oils again. again or even try water color or acrylics. Im retired now and have no excuses not to explore my creative side again.

    • @melaniehellum1281
      @melaniehellum1281 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm relearning painting for myself. And living for myself . It's a very healthy process of self love and growth.
      Open your heart fearlessly for self love. Dare to be bad or , good just learn and grow. Play is healthy at any age. I have painted since I was a child. I started thinking about marketable work . Now I paint what I love and what to explore.

    Gill is an inspiration. The idea that I loved the most is, and it may be something that is already a common sense way of working for most artists, but knowing that whatever medium you work with, it has an energy and it will speak to you during the creative experience. Learning to listen is the new skill to incorporate.💖

    • @snapdragonlife
      @snapdragonlife  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you. I think you are right - that is the main thing to get right. X

    • @GillStewart-it3oe
      @GillStewart-it3oe 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I really think listening is the way to creative freedom. Naturally it comes with its challenges, but that is how we learn to create something beautiful that is unique to yourself. How special that is . Thank you so much for your comment. Makes me very happy to have shared something you can hold onto.

In my dinning are today I am almost finished with a circus in an old stand alone bird cage; in the kitchen nook a leg mannequin is combing out spectacular, and the second room is the actual supply room and small project room.

    This was so inspiring . Gill is such a lovely women and her home is full of light and life. I've always been creative and now I'm finding myself falling in to paint gouache in particular I'm finding lovely to work with. Watercolour still scares me however. Imagine opening up your home for artists how lovely.

      Thank you for watching @tracysmith9393 Gouache is a lovely medium to embrace. Watercolour does scare many , but no need. Splash around with it, just remember to allow sections to dry you want to keep. Try embracing a wet on wet technique too in a playful way to find out what you like.
      So wish you could visit one day to simply play and be liberated. All fear gone…Happy painting. Would love to hear how you get on ❤

    Wow, this was just wonderful! I am a Scot living in Australia so the feeling of being back home was wonderful....Gill's work is marvelous and what a generous artist to share her insights and thought process. I loved the idea of keeping the old paint palette paper for collage and the net bag from lemons...brilliant! I have saved this video as I will revisit it again and again. Thank you Jane @ Snapdragon Life and Gill Stewart for sharing. 💜👍✨💗

    I loved this video! What a great atmosphere and so many good ideas. I agree, sharing sounds nicer than teaching, friendlier. I’ve been trying to create a little spot in my shed for art, but it’s a slow go, lots of other junk in there. So I love her little art studio. Just being outside is so nice, with some shelter.

I'm not a lover of gray, but her piece with the mustard is lovely. Now her home... beautiful but definitely not for me! I need color! I suppose because she works with color all the time, her eyes and mind need a place to rest. 😊 Thank you for sharing! 🎨

      Fascinating to read @revonda5204. You are absolutely right, my eyes need a resting place. I work with muted & colourful palettes in my art, but my home needs to be quiet. For many reasons . Sometimes splashes and clashes appear in cushions and throws, florals & candles too. Probably mostly in Autumn and Winter. I love how we all see differently.

    Hello Jane, I absolutely love this video. After 50+ years of believing that I cannot paint, I am painting. It's not anything grand, mostly following others' tutorials. But, I am creating it and it is fun. Most of the time, I take either other paintings or photos of things, mostly flowers and I put them together, like a sort of collage to create a new painting. Yes, I know, that lighting is off because it's flowers from different photos (and paintings), but I create something that I like....
    I also use wet palette and up to now have been throwing away my dried up wax paper "palette", but using this "palette" like Gill suggests is a great idea. Thank you.
